Your spelling is just fine for an 11 year old!. And its good that you are facing your fear, kudos to you! I think the more you learn about lightning or tornadoes, the less afraid you will become! When I was a little boy (22 - Now, so not that long ago) I was afraid of storms!. But then I became VERY interested in storms, tornadoes and the weather in general!. I learned and learned SO much that I wasnt afraid like I had been!. I was 8 years old telling adults facts that they didnt even know!. Its always a great thing to learn! Have your mom take you to the library and check out some books! Or, look online!. !. !.

Best of luck to you! And remember, its OK to be afraid, we all have fear!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I know this sounds crazy, but you just need to change the way you think!. When lightening comes, simply imagine it as something else!. I do this with my kids to help them with scary dreams!. Imagine the lightening as something silly or something that can't hurt you!. For example, think of it as a giant licorice stick or lollipop!. Use your imagination!. P!.S!., the other person's idea of listening to a thunderstorm sounds is a good idea!. Look for Dan Gibson's Solitude thunderstorm!. I use it to help me fall asleep!. Good Luck, and happy rain showers!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I used to be really scared of thunderstorms (I would get a panic attack if I even heard on the radio that it would storm later)!.
What helped me was listening to a CD of thunderstorm sounds (you can also download that online) and practicing just sitting calmly, breathing, while I listened!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
